Andersson: No one earning under 70,000 kronor a month will face higher taxes

S leader Magdalena Andersson promises that no one with "normal incomes" will have their taxes raised with her as prime minister. No one who earns less than 70,000 kronor a month will have their income tax raised, she tells SVT Nyheter.

After the difficult years in which Swedish wages have fallen behind those in Europe, people need to have more money in their pockets, says the S leader.

The welfare initiatives that S is campaigning on - including shorter healthcare queues and increased child benefits - will not be financed with tax increases for "ordinary" people. Those with incomes of 70,000 kronor a month, however, will pay "a few hundred kronor" more in tax, and then it will increase.

In addition, we want to pursue an economic policy so that the economy grows and real wage increases can be achieved, says Andersson.
